§ 2. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether certain Special Reserve officers of the Royal Flying Corps have graduated at the Central Flying School and been recommended for continuous service to the Naval Wing; whether, notwithstanding that, they are kept waiting without any remuneration, liable at any moment to be posted for service, and for that reason unable to take up any other work; and, if so, whether he will give instructions to remedy this state of affairs?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Churchill)Only one gentleman who is a candidate for continuous service in the Naval Wing of the Royal Flying Corps has graduated at the Central Flying School, and he has been recommended for the Naval Wing. The gentleman in question, however, suffers from a physical disability which may prevent his being accepted, and the matter is now under consideration.
